aww,. I'm (literally) cried (wo-MANLY tears of happiness) when reading this (at 4.A.M, no less). It's so beautifully well written, and there's a cute 0027 moment too, daww...,..,. Thank you for sharing this.

good story

''Tsuna's hair slips from the bow, and his papa puts it up in pigtails with rubber hair bands.
(Tsuna doesn't like them; they're tight and they hurt, he can't take them off.)
Tsuna is five and the other kids pull at his pigtails.
(It hurtsithurtsithurts.)'' This is genius. The way the hair stands for his flames, the way rubber hair bands (which hurt, gosh dammit, I winced when I read that because no girl forgets that feeling- Kinda like the scrunchie box in A Beautiful Chaos (Baby Animals Included), everybody knows how those plastic things always indent at the wrong moment) were the seal and the consequent treatment of his peers.

I can just see it- ''You're a Mafia boss! Have the hair ribbons of the first Vongola mafia boss here! You're descended from him!'' (Giotto with long hair AND PIG TAILS A LA GONNA BE THE TWIN TAIL)

GOKUDERA SHYLY FIXING THEM AAAAH!

I loved Yamamoto's braids- I actually managed to fit that into the ponytail I drew without making it look weird! :D

AND LAMBO TAT TAT TAT

Ryohei just made me melt and Kyoya made me grin! (And Mukuro was so freaking in character it made me laugh)

One day I must also draw Tsuna with hairloopies a la Katara and hang the rings in them.

Chrome is actually the one that I liked the most next to Reborn and Enma with the hair? It was so sweet and cute and _right_!

''(He leaves in the decorations and pins and bands and clips Tsuna's friends gave him. And for that, Tsuna is relieved.)
(Reborn carefully puts Tsuna's hair up again like it used to be, putting in everything back in its place.)'' YOU JUST HAD TO BREAK MY HEART TAT TAT TAT TAT

''He wakes in a coffin littered with sheared brown hair strands and dropped hair decorations.'' My heart STOPPED for a moment, and oh my god, I want to draw it so badly too! This is going to be a fully illustrated fic by the time I'm done with it, M-chan, I'm telling you!

''(Byakuran almost tears Tsuna's hair, almost tears his hair bands, almost destroys his hair clips, and Tsuna will not take it lying down.)'' HOW IS THIS SO POWERFUL?!

''Tsuna is fifteen and Kozato Enma reminds him of himself.'' You've used this more than once in your fics, but somehow it's different every time and that's so well done!

On Enma... If I would begin about that, I'd have to copy the whole freakin' thing. Seriously. I AM ENCHANTED BY LONG-HAIRED ENMA AND WANNA DRAW HIM WITH THAT HIGH PONY TAIL SO BADLY OH MY GOSH HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT

AND THE 0027! *MELTS INTO A PUDDLE*

AND KAWAHIRA AND THE BOW AND THE REFUSING AND THE FREAKIN' SCISSORS! WHERE IS THE DOUBLE CAPS WHEN YOU NEED IT?!

And the part where Reborn does Tsuna's hair- that's the part I drew, actually. :D I love it so much!

And the ENDING IT WAS SO FREAKIN' BEAUTIFUL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY HEART, M-CHAN?!

This turned out much better than I honestly expected something like this to be. I still look forward to that sequel for the Tomb Raider crossover.

This is so cute! I love this idea~ The symbolism of the hair ornaments is very cool. I love that everyone treats his hair with such ease~ All the ones, clips and pins are definitely heavy. Love your work!

That was random but I loved it. Although it does provide an odd (amusing) image of everyone carrying around hairclips and bows just to play about with Tsuna's hair.
